Ed-0: Zombie Uprising is apparently going for some kind of "craziest take on a real-world historical event" award, and we think it deserves to win (were one to exist). The best part is you can check it out stress-free with a three-hour-long PS Plus Premium trial. Even better, it's out today.
Playing as either samurai, ninja, or sumo-wrestler, Ed-0: Zombie Uprising reframes real American historical figure Commodore Matthew C. Perry as some kind of necromantic overlord, determined to force Japan's borders open through the force of undead arms. Of course, the real-world Perry did much the same thing in the 1850s, instead using his brand-spanking new gunboats to intimidate the formerly isolationist nation to do business, and where the expression "gunboat diplomacy" is thought to have originated.
Do you have burning historical reasons for wanting to check out Ed-0: Zombie Uprising? Or are you just down to see what kind of damage a sumo could really do, free of the constraints (and morality) of a competition setting? Make your intentions known in the comments section below.

Umm… this sounds bonkers and therefore has my interest.
I would like to try this, but it’s annoying that trials unlock trophies.
@Bentleyma Make a temp Profile to try out the game and if you like it you can play it on your main profile.
Seems like the kind of game that'll eventually make it to the sub.
@Areus You can’t do that with trials.
The voice acting reminded me of Commodore Perry's episodes in Gag Manga Biyori, with the same kind of super stereotypical exaggerated accent and all. Not that anyone will know what I'm talking about.
Whats happening !!!!!!!!
I'll be buying this one. No trial needed.
Game looks terribly-awesome, but I think the highlight for me is the voice for the trailer. Seemed to really be having fun reading the lines.
This looks like a fun one. However, why doesn't Zombie Perry just use his zombie cannon to erase the entirety of the Japanese military system in a day or two? That was the threat 170 years ago.
This looks completely nuts 🤪 a 3 hour trial is pretty generous though, so will give it a go
@Bentleyma Glad I read your comment. I'll never try another trial again.
Played it. Despite the jank the loop is very satisfying. Definitely one to pick up in the sales.
The official trailer is enough to put anyone off, full of screaming, wailing streamer reactions.
